Back to Pencil

As a left-handed person with a tendency to smudge pencil, it wasn't difficult for me to make the switch to pen. However, pencil has an unmistakable look and feel that make it difficult to stay away. Admittedly, it was nice to be able to use an eraser to clean up some of the re-stated lines. If my drawing time hadn't ended so abruptly, I probably would have erased the shadow along the chin line (it looks a little too much like a beard).

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Twinbee

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
